- ESCAPER SOLUTION! I know there is always talk of escapers, and it drives everyone nuts, but i think i have a possible solution to escapers. now i am not a programer of any kind so i dont know what it would take to accomplish this, but (if you are familiar with AIM) AOL instant messenger has a buttom on the IM window that says warn, so if somone does somthing annoying you can warn them, and after a couple times of being warned there use becomes more and more restricted. a system like that for escapers ( i think) would be convienent. also it would make the escapee feel at least a tiny bit better about getting escaped on. also i always see the claim win button, but i think it needs to serve as a better option, such as clicking it might send and email to the escaper saying they have 48 hours to complete the game or the win goes to the other person. i dunno if that makes sense but i was sitting thinking of how to torture escapers over the internet and didnt come up with anything good, so this is all i got.
- Since this IS the wish list ... KGS is down right now, so I'm posting here instead of playing. :) A webpage that gave KGS server status (up/down, stats if up (# online, uptime, etc)) plus a message of the day would be great. That way I could check the web page and see "KGS down for maintenance 3-4pm PST".
gedh: That was the sort of rationale behind me creating KGSServerStatus tonight.
- Each time user requests to see games of particular person, ask for Time Zone and store this info on server, so that next time request is made, Time Zone defaults not to GNP, but to a particular Time Zone+
- Better yet, defaulting Time Zone value returned to "show games" request to the Time Zone of the player.
- axd: The Help pages are a pity; is there a way to have help pages while off-line?
- (Sebastian [7001]:) A way to work collaboratively on the KGS Web Pages, similar to the way we all contribute to SL. This has been discusssed with wms.
- In addition to show 100 best players of KGS, show also individual position of player in question (upon search for games may be). For example one's position may be 545/10000, where 10000 is a number of registered users.+
- toskana?: Show statistics of how many ranked accounts without ? are on KGS with a certain rank.
- Joseba?: Add links to the KGS pages of SL (FAQ, Wishlist). Add links to TOS so that they can be easily found from the home page.
- jraitsev: Highlight winner in one color and loser in another. Right now one needs to mix'n'match to see who won the game, there is no easy visual way to tell
- Link on rank graph page to switch to game archives page, and vice versa.
- Hyperlink the player names (or at least the opponent's) in the game archive pages - initially to the archives of that player, later to the player's info page (see next request). This should be easily done, the name query input box below the page can remain. +
- Provide player HTML pages that contains that player's info (and picture...), graph and game archive. The next request will of course be to be able to modify that page, but this does not seem essential to me (for the moment :-) ), as this is done via the client.
- Bold the winner's name in the game archive record.
- (Sebastian:) We already have the bullet for that. If anything then nstead, bold the opponent's name.
- nachtrabe: I meant on the webpage, not in the client :)
- genix: Access to Database, so i can get Infos for the webpage from an User: Name, Rank, Email, Infotext, Homepage, Last Seen, Client-Language, Nickname.
